What is fire rated glass, and does it really work? Just as the name implies, fire rated glass offers some level of protection in the event of a fire.

While watching the Super Bowl today I couldn’t help myself from thinking about the use of Stadium Glass and how fenestration is applied to the design of today’s NFL stadiums. Glass is strategically placed in new stadium designs to enhance the views from interior spaces overlooking the playing surface. A large bank of windows can highlight outdoor scenery while at the same time providing ample visibility into the facility. When used appropriately, stadium glass provides a sense of elegance despite the overwhelming size of the arena. Read more

There are three main factors that cause window condensation; cold outdoor temperatures, excessive indoor humidity, and window surface temperatures that are lower than the dew point of the air inside your home. The dew point is the temperature at which moisture in the air begins to form into visible water drops. In the case of windows, if the glass surface falls below the dew point of the air, water droplets will begin to form on the glass. Read more

The short explanation or definition of insulated glass is simply 2 or more panes of glass assembled in such a way to create an air gap between the glass. Of course, the term “air gap” is a bit of a misnomer in that the gap is filled with an inert gas such as argon. An air-tight seal is added to the perimeter of the assembly to keep the moisture out and the gas inside. In essence, the space creates an insulation barrier between the cold air outdoors and the interior temperature of your home. By comparison, a single layer of glass has virtually zero insulation value. Read more
